Plans for next week

We will be defiantly be starting the shooting within next week, and we may be able to start shooting on the saturday, we will also be doing draft shooting beforehand in this week so that we will know what we would wanna shoot in our music videos, and also to come up with ideas for the camera angles/shots and the lighting in the video. After we have our first shot is done we will be starting our editing with that part of the video.

Costumes

the ideas that we have for the costumes is that the one man band musician wears different tops/costumes when performing on the different instruments, however the costumes will be linking in with the song and the audience of the song also, we have thought of the one man band musician to wear hooded top, chequered shirt, and band tees.

Draft shooting

we are going to be borrowing a video camera and will be doing some draft shooting, we will mainly be trying out different camera angles, shot, and also with the lighting, after we have done our draft shooting, we can point out the good or bad stuff, and with the good stuff we could try and to place them in our music video. With the draft shooting this is going to help us a lot with the music video, as when to comes to shooting our music video we will already have experience with shooting with the cameras and therefore a lot less mistakes will be made when shooting the music video.

Lighting

Again for the lighting we will be doing the same as the camera angles, and that would be experimenting around with the lighting whiles shooting, and that would mean shooting the same thing a few times over but that would mean that when we are in the post production editing we can pick a shot out with good lighting that goes along with the style of the video and also with the song that is used in the music video.

Camera angles

We have thought about a few camera angles, but one that we have talked about doing is a close up on one of the instruments that the musician is playing. Whiles shooting we would be shooting the same thing over and over however each time we will e doing it at different camera angles and that way we could experiment with camera angles and shots, and therefore when in the post production editing we will be able to look at the different angles and therefore can pick out the better suiting camera angles/shots for the final music video.

Actors

For actors we would try and get some friends that have experience with acting/drama/theatre, as they would already have experience with acting and also will act more professionally than someone that has never done acting before. A problem that we could face is people dropping out and also someone or some people could be unreliable, and not turn up on time, or even not even turn up what so ever. However i believe that we will be able to find people that are reliable and also who will act professionally and therefore help us to complete the task quicker.

SFX

again like the sound we have not planned on using any sound effects, but again we may think of some sound effects that we could use when we are recording the music video, and therefore we would mainly be thinking of the sound effect whiles recording and also in the post production with the editing, as we may see some sound effects that we want to use in the editing software that we are using. Whiles doing recording again we may think of some SFX to use, and also whiles editing we could use some sound effects that are available for us in the software, and therefore we would add any SFX that we want to use when we are in post production.

Sound

For our music video the only sound that we have planned to use is the music it self, we have not planned on using any other sounds within the music video, however when recording we may decide to use some sound for the story part of the music video, but for now all we plan to use is the song it self. Whiles recording we may think of some dialogues for the actors to say whiles recording, and then we could add that into the music video, and edit around with it to fit into the music video for us.

Props

Some props we have talked about is some paper as the kid is pushed and the paper is thrown in the air, some rope to make a noose with, and also some smoke flares to produce some smoke/fog we may be using this for a scene that we have thought about doing. However some props we are defiantly using is the instruments (guitar, bass, drums, microphone, and keyboard)

Reasons for locations

We have chosen to use a practice room for the live music performance as the instruments will be ready to use their, making it easier as we are using a one man band performance and we will need to shot it several times with the multiple instruments, also with a practice room it looks the part as were an artist could play. We have chosen to do some of the acting/story of bullying in school as this is where most of the bullying takes place and its good for us as we can use anywhere in the school as a location.
